It is like these women and men who make these comments don’t have mirrors.
Michelle Obama is one of the most educated individuals in our country, so to try to say she is speaking ebonics and calling her Monkey Face is as racist as it gets.
Also want to point out these news people need to stop saying things like “racially charged” when it is 100% clear it is racist.
It’s the Facebook post Joann Nieto calls “entirely unacceptable.”
“I think it’s sad,” Nieto said.
It depicts a picture of a yelling Michelle Obama with the comment, “doesn’t seem to be speaking too eloquently here, thank god we can’t hear her! Harvard??? That’s a place for “entitled” folks said all the liberals!” The poster goes onto comment, “Monkey face and poor ebonic English!!! There! I feel better and am still not racist!!! Just calling it like it is!”
“Hiding behind the excuse that you’re not racist, doesn’t negate the fact that you are being racist,” Nieto said.
What’s worse, Nieto discovered the poster is Dr. Michelle Herren, a pediatric anesthesiologist who works at Denver Health Medical Center, Children’s Hospital Colorado and is listed online as an assistant professor at CU’s School of Medicine.
She needs to be fired, but as of now they have her on leave, probably until it blows over, I’d never have my kid see her, because you know the type of things she says behind closed doors if she says that in private.
If you want to give the hospital a call 1-800-624-6553.
